A Catholic is someone that follows the teaching of the Catholic Church. If you support Abortion you are not a Catholic. End of story.

I guess the Catholic Church is full of unbelievers, then.

I honestly have not watched any of them in a long time. but I do remember O Reilly hammering the lack of exit plan from Iraq and the mess we have there quite often. But he then would say the idea was "noble" to free Iraq.

And after weeks of hyping the expected protests, Sean Hannity conceded after the speech that Obama "got a fairly warm reception today by many."

You Faux die-hards can relive the magic of Faux's vain attempts to cause hysteria over Obama's appearance at Notre Dame at that same link.
They report the news, fair and balanced, thanks for pointing this out.

This of course differs from opinion news commentators like Sean Hannity, who wears his political ideology on his sleeve.

Sean's quoted in the original post, as grudging as can be. So professional that guy. No wonder he cant legally be called a reporter.

They only report this AFTER the Faux plan didnt work. Did you read the other posts?

Too many people think their opinion is truth. It is narcisistic, arrogant and naive.
